Surplus Property Handling
The disposal of equipment and other property purchased with taxpayer money is governed by State law. The methods of appropriate disposal for items deemed hazardous waste, either whole or in part, are also specified by State law. Items that have been inventoried by the District must be properly accounted for in the Escape inventory management records prior to disposal or transfer.
If you have equipment you no longer need, please notify the Purchasing Department by filling out the Property Disposal/Transfer Form. Please be sure to advise the reason for disposal (“obsolete,”” broken,” or “excess, but functional”). The Director of Purchasing will review the list and instruct the District warehouse as to how to handle each item. Please keep the items in a single location at your site. The warehouse will arrange pick-up after the Director of Purchasing has signed off on the form. Do not send items to the warehouse unless advised to do so by the Purchasing Department.
Do not throw any District owned property into the trash, even if you determine it is unusable. Disposal procedures must be followed per State law.
Electronic equipment may contain parts which are considered hazardous waste. The State of California requires special handling for hazardous waste. Under no circumstances may these items be placed in the dumpster for disposal. Purchasing will oversee the proper disposal of these items per State requirements.
The Education Code requires Board approval for the sale of obsolete or worn out equipment. A list of surplus items will be compiled periodically. The list will be submitted to all principals for possible transfer prior to disposal. Surplus property that is not transferred to another site will be submitted for disposal per Education Code 17545, 17546, and MJUSD Board Policy 3270.
